credit rating

Measure of the willingness or ability to pay for goods, loans, or services rendered by an individual, company, or country. The lower the credit rating of a firm, the higher the interest charged by banks and other creditors is likely to be. A firm or country with a high credit rating will attract loans on favourable terms.
